Hi all, I'm a decently experienced PC builder and recently have been having issues with a new build I just put together.
Specs:
TUF 4090
7800x3D
Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2
DDR5 gskill 6000Mhz ram
Corsair Hx1000i
Couple samsung m.2s
Context:
PC had been giving me some issues already. I was on NVIDIA driver 536.41 but after encountering a few crashes without any idea as to why, I upgraded drivers to 551.23 which is the latest studio driver. Yesterday, with the new drivers, it still crashed. Today I hadn't booted my system on as I was fixing up my old rig to be sold. I sold it, then today at around 7:30pm, tried to boot my PC and get this problem.
Problem:
Upon turning on my PSU, 4090 power LED lights up, which is normal. Then, when I turn on the sytem using the case power button, the motherboard LEDs light up in the following order:
1) CPU led (1/2 second)
2) DRAM led (3-5 seconds)
3) VGA led (on until shutdown)
What I've tried:
- unplug cable from PSU and try again after 5 minutes => no changes
- let the system run for 15 minutes => no changes
- reseated GPU => no changes
Other:
I am inclined to think it's the ram because there is a lot of problems with the new motherboards and CPUs having problems with DDR5 ram. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks.
EDIT:
Damn. I am just weak I guess. Reseated the GPU again and took out and plugged in the 12 pin power connector and now it works fine. I think I've just never had a GPU this heavy before and I may have moved the table that the PC sat on resulting in it (or more likely the power cable) coming loose. I don't know how to delete threads so this post will just stay up here in shame. Thanks
